Nursing Personnel offers overseas nurses an excellent opportunity to work with the NHS. Overseas nurses will get a chance to work with some of the largest employers in the UK and gain valuable, professional experience.
Combating the nursing shortage in the UK, Nursing Personnel has recruited talented overseas nurses to work in hospitals all across the country. The agency makes a thorough check on the immigration legalities and other prerequisites needed to qualify for an overseas nurse position.

Nursing Personnel is approved on all 3 NHS Nursing Frameworks and is one of the largest nursing suppliers in the country. It complies with strict recruitment and compliance guidelines set down by the NHS and framework operators. By working for one of the top nursing agencies in the country, overseas nurses are offered a £1000 relocation package and a smooth transition to the UK.

Speaking at a recent event, the Agency Executive said, “We are an agency that supports non-discriminatory practices. All our staff must be professionally qualified and capable. Having relevant experience is a must. We are always looking for experienced and talented nursing professionals interested in working in hospitals in the UK. Currently there are over 40, 000 vacant nursing posts in the UK and overseas recruitment has to be a source for filling some of these positions”

He further added, “We work with our candidates and help them through the full registration and recruitment process. It is important that the candidates are properly looked after as relocation can be a stressful and daunting proposition We have positions for general and specialist nurses, theatre nurses, midwives, ITU, A&E nurses and operating department practitioners.”

There are attractive pay packages for qualified nurses and healthcare professionals within and outside EU. They offer competitive rates and a full-time contract or temporary agency jobs. The candidates are expected to have the right qualification and an IELTS certificate. Qualified nurses outside the EU are now exempted from taking up the overseas nursing program for working in the UK. Overseas nurses must demonstrate abilities to provide top-class services to the agency’s clients.

Nurses who are based outside the EU are required to take up a computer-based, multiple choice exam. This is accompanied by an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSEC) as well. The computer-based test is available in most countries worldwide, including non-EU/EEA counties.

The OSEC will always be held in the UK in specific examination centres. Applicants are also required to have an IELTS score of 7.0 or above in all the sections. They must also have completed a three-year or equivalent undergraduate education and training program. Candidates must also have 12 months of post-registration practice experience and a self-declaration stating that they are of good character and health.

Qualified band 5 RGNs are being offered £37,500 per annum with a permanent contract with Nursing Personnel. Temporary agency workers can earn from £22 to £35 per hour by working at an NHS acute hospital. Critical/specialist nurses can expect a slightly higher pay based on experience. Healthcare assistants at Band 2 are offered £20,000 per annum and £10 to £18 per hour for temporary contracts.
